Ramona Shelburne They 5 Buss family members have a tag-along provision very legal They have a right to tag along to any sale if Mark Walter were to sell his shares Kushner and Iger have no comment right now

PTFO Before Mark Walter sold the Lakers he bought the Dodgers Then came a 350000000 deal with Magic Johnson and a hidden web of loans and deals with each other covertly allowing Magic to build most of his wealth and become a billionaire

Pablo Torre On the DOJ investigation while holding the new plant he just bought The reason Ive been anticipating this is because as Ive repeatedly said on the show the main reason Ballmer would not want to admit any kind of guilt is everything else thats happening to him in the real world

Shelburne They're talking about a settlement conversations have been more about this failure to supervise and the nature of the introductions that were made between the Clippers and Kawhi's people rather than direct evidence of salary cap circumvention done by Steve Ballmer

Steve Ballmer In an exclusive interview with Ramona Shelburne and ESPN last year following Pablo Torres reporting on the Clippers alleged salary-cap circumvention through Aspiration They conned me

PTFO The DOJ could build a criminal conspiracy case against Steve Ballmer and the Clippers for securities fraud in the Kawhi Leonard scandal per former federal prosecutors Even in 2026 a creative theory could map out a road to jail time And thats before the US president gets involved

Charania I had one executive tell me last night that the Clippers were essentially acting like a power agent brokering deals for Kawhi Leonard That's millions and millions of cash flow coming into Kawhi By mid-2021 Kawhi had pocketed tens of millions of dollars in no-show endorsement deals
